can I get help with this question please

Write a function isOldEnough that takes an input called num as an argument. The function should return either true or false based on the following logic:

It returns true if the number is greater than or equal to 18
It returns false if the number is non-negative but less than 18
It returns "Invalid argument" if the number is negative or if it's not a number at all

@ayaanHasan I quickly wrote this, let me know if it solved your problem!

def isOldEnough():
  try:
    if num > 0:
      if num >= 18:
        print(True)
      elif num < 18:
        print(False)
  except ValueError:
    print("Invalid Argument.")
isOldEnough()

@EchoCoding thank you for your help. However the code you sent is not working for some reason.

▲

@ayaanh22 How is it not working? It prints True of False depending on the scenario.

▲

This is just a bunch of ifs. I'm sure you can do it.

▲

@a5rocks I am very new to this i am trying my best however there is something just wrong

▲

@ayaanHasan Can you send the code?

▲

@ayaanHasan what language are you making this for? I recommend googling / whatever-search-engine-you-use-ing for a tutorial on:

functions
if statements
how to get a variable's class

▲

What have you done so far? What seems to be the problem? What language are you working in?

Have a look at https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_if_else_statement.htm for an overview of if-else statements and then come back with more questions.

Yip

Try using if, and, else, elif!
